Kyle Sandilands labels Ray Hadley and Pedestrian TV ‘piece of shit’ over Intern Pete attacks
Kiis FM breakfast co-host Kyle Sandilands has labelled 2GB radio host Ray Hadley and Pedestrian TV both pieces of “shit”, following their criticism of the show’s producer Peter Deppeler over the weekend.
Deppeler – known on the Kyle & Jackie O Show as ‘Intern Pete’ – was heavily criticised for his stunt during former Australian cricket captain Steve Smith’s tearful press conference. As an emotional Smith apologised for his role in the ball tampering scandal, Deppeler asked a rambling question, telling Smith his behaviour wasn’t as bad as contestants on Nine’s reality TV show Married At First Sight.

The question was widely criticised for the insensitivity of its timing.
“I want to let you know the perspective from non sports community Australians, to see you upset tonight is very sad,” Deppeler said in the press conference.
“We asked our listeners, as I said we are not a sports show, we asked our listeners what we thought about this and we have… mate I’ve got to tell you hold your head up a little bit high for what you have done. Because what has actually been worse is what Dean and Davina did on Married At First Sight.”
Officials then closed the question down before a puzzled looking Smith could respond.
That person, who I will not call a journalist, should be banned from ever going to a press conference again. I think it was from the @kyleandjackieo show – whoever you are, you are an idiot.

to the nob from Kyle & Jackie O who asked that ridiculous question, wait until you are utterly broken as a human being and think back to this moment.

This morning, Sandilands critiqued 2GB morning host Ray Hadley, calling him a “pretend person” and a “piece of shit”.
Last week, Hadley had said Deppeler acted like a “complete dickhead” at the conference. He also labelled him a “buffoon”.
“It’s an act. He makes it up. You see him in the street, he runs off like a coward,” Sandilands said of his rival.
He also dubbed Nine’s youth website Pedestrian TV a “piece of shit”, urging Deppeler to stop reading the publication. Pedestrian published an article which called Deppeler one of Australia’s most hated people.
“Pedestrian is a piece of shit. Who cares about them. They’re such a low grade thing,” he said.
“Stop reading about yourself.”
But Sandilands also told listeners on air this morning he couldn’t give a “shit” about what had happened over the weekend.
“We didn’t know he was going to [ask the question], but I still support him — I couldn’t give a shit,” he said.

“It’s a cricket game at the end of the day. He got death threats the kid, people threatened intern Pete with death and they weren’t mucking around,” Sandilands added.
“How have you become the villain out of the entire ball tampering scandal?”
It isn’t the first time Sandilands has labelled a media critic a “piece of shit”. In 2011, Sandilands norotiously threatened to hunt down News Corp journalist Alison Stephenson, after she reported negative viewer comments about Kyle and Jackie O’s low rating TV show Night with the Stars.
Sandilands also said he “couldn’t care less” about losing Cricket Australia advertising, telling the organisation to “keep their $25 worth of ads”.
Co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson added: “We didn’t shitcan you when you were having a bad week.”
But despite the commentary from the two co-hosts, ‘Intern Pete’ apologised to Smith for his behaviour at the press conference.
“I would like to apologise to Steve. I do feel for the guy and I think that my timing definitely wasn’t right on that, so I am truly sorry to Steve.”

Whilst I don’t agree with what Intern Pete did, Steve Smith deserves no compassion – he is a cheat and has ruined the integrity of Australian cricket.

With a mouth like a dirty toilet bowl, what else can you expect to hear from a knob like Sandilands!!

Kyle and Jacki O have developed a reputation for cheap and offensive stunts. These clowns chose Smith’s lowest point to further humiliate him publicly. The hypocrisy is the ferocious manner in which they defend media criticism of their faux pas, of which there are too many to list.

As expected, the Old White Guard of Australian ‘media’ strolls in to declare Smith to be the victim in this mess.

Intern Pete and ugly Kyle are the pieces of shit in all of this. They’ve again confirmed what we’ve all known. Very terrible humans

This stunt is a yet another cheap attention grab at ratings.
Poor Intern Pete, I thought what he said was quite funny!

From Hadley to Smith to Pedestrian to Sandilands…
There are no winners here.

While it’s only cricket and only a game, it was a serious moment in that sphere. That it had/has taken on some greater meaning points to a large section of thin skin in the Australian psyche, but that’s not for today.
The question I have is how a show like Kyle & Jackie O actually has the journalistic credentials to be there in the first place? They produce a particular brand of entertainment that has an audience and a market, but I’m surprised that’s enough to get a representative from their show in that room.
There should always be room for alternative views and hard questions, but this situation shows the jeopardy in allowing as much.

Sanderlands is basically an illiterate with an IQ that would barely makes double digits. Henderson is a vacuous, shallow enabler who is along for the ride and the money. Both have no moral compass. No decency. No humanity. It’s high time that corporate Australia took a stand against these oxygen thieves and stopped advertising during their brain dead, valueless broadcast.

If Vile Kyle and Wacky Jackie are giving you a gob-full, you’ve probably said something right. Bottom feeder radio presented by bottom feeders for bottom feeders.

So basically, a loud mouth [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]

This proves once again that Kyle and Jackie O are pathetic and will do anything for a cheap stunt. Their show is baseline humour. It is insulting smut and innuendo. It is lowbrow. And I listen to them every morning on the way to work because this duo actually make me smile at 7am.

On behalf or all dirty toilet bowls I take offense at that comparison.

Not to come out on either side in regard to Kyle or Ray (they’re both tools) I must say I was amused by intern Pete’s stunt. It evoked Shades of Norman Gunston and the times when more people had a sense of humour.

I could be wrong (I’m not) but didn’t the K&J show re-hire their producer after he was sacked for 4 years for making jokes straight after the Colorado mass shooting in the US? This latest fuck up seems pretty tame compared to that.

Do you know what…? Atleast K&J dont talk shit and dont take shit. I would rather listen to real and honest people who speak their mind rather than some idiots who just agree with the general public or try to create a story over something so insignificant… It seems most Australians dont want to remember the real issue here.

I went to a cricket match in 1970. First and last time. Generations of Australian leadership in sledging, deserves Kyle and Jackie O to hit just as low, as the penalties metered out by CA are just too light. Rough form of justice, but appropriate.

If “Intern Pete” is worried about threats – dont worry there are worse threats on ‘My Kitchen Rules’ eh Kyle.
See how funny it is!!

Comparing the purile and pathetic attempt at humour of Peter Deppeler aka Intern Pete with the comic genius of Gary McDonald aka Norman Gunston – now that is funny.
